In other words you can't so you just rely on childish lashing out lololol Sure kid, that's what adults do.

LOL Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, this is pot Kid, every time you use the down arrow whether you like it or not everyone here knows you're crying and your soul is a little more broken don't hate the messenger Opinions vary. Some say it's due to your low self esteem issues and you lash out when you realize you look stupid, others say you're emotionally incapable of facing your own inadequacies. Only your therapist can tell us for sure. I mean, you spent over a week crying like a baby about WINNING an election, who the hell can figure out what you're thinking? But one thing is for sure, you ARE triggered and get that way pretty often This is why people think you're a 15 year old living in your mommy's basement.

Not exactly true. He was never ever convicted of rape, or even charged with rape. Not criminally nor civilly. That's a lie the left often likes to repeat but that never happened. And he wasn't convicted of multiple felony crimes, he was convicted of the same crime with multiple counts which is very different. And it was a charge that was totally concocted to go after trump. Nobody has ever been charged with it before like that. Which is why nobody cared. Don't let the left lie like that. Trump was found innocent of rape in a civil trial where the proof required is even lower than a criminal trial. He was found to be financially liable for sexual abuse but not rape.

the biggest obstacle for the NDP is going to be money The way it usually works is that parties are able to get rebates and subsidies for the vast majority of the money they spend in an election. I believe it's about 3/4's of what they spend. So if a party spends 20 million they get something like 15 million back and are only out the 5. That allows them to borrow money if they don't have it and then repay it when the election is done. But... the ndp lost party status. They won't qualify. So all the money they spent is gone, no rebate. And they borrowed some to do the campaign. They are going to be very lucky if they don't go bankrupt. How will they pay for staffers, or attract big names in ridings, or save up for the next campaign or do research or anything. The primary 'skil' of the next leader is probably going to have to be the ability to fundraise. If they can't bring in a tonne of money fairly quickly they're never going to survive, never mind have the cash to fight the next election.

Then why would they flip? The vast majority of people who crossed the floor lose the next election in that riding. So you're an NDP MP, you believe in your party, and the liberals come ask you to change sides. All your friends and co workers will hate you, your entire volunteer team is going to desert you, showing your face in the riding will be a questionable thing to do, and you're almost guaranteed to be out of a job next election. And they offer you nothing for all of that. Sounds like a great deal right Sure it has, but very rarely and usually the party did something to p*ss the person off, or there was a very special reason. OR they were offered a huge benefit. Such as the case with belinda stronach. or david emmerson who crossed the floor to harper, but his whole reason for getting into politics was to negotiate the softwood lumber agreement, the libs lost to harper and harper reached out and said he could have a free hand on the file and he jumped ship. He lost the next election but didn't care. But they don't just do it for fun.

The NDP are not liberals. They do not blend with the liberals at all, once in a blue moon they will lend their votes to the liberals but that's about it. This time around they punished their leader because he was a useless twat. The NDP will not make that mistake again and a new leader will breathe new life into them. I don't know that they're going to be a major force in the next election, they are broke because having been reduced below official party status they can't get the refund that they normally would for their election expenses. So they are going to be seriously hard up for cash. But a new leader always breathes a certain amount of excitement in life into a party and if they have a good convention and good leaders put themselves forward as candidates they will certainly claw back a significant portion of the votes that parked themselves with the liberals for an election. The other factor is the bloc. There's a very real chance that they will do far better in the next election as well. Carney is already p*ssing off the french. And ontario's economy isn't going up anytime soon. You can't scare people with trump all the time. In fact that fear level is already falling and was towards the end of the election. Bolsters have commented especially Nick Nanos that if the election had gone on another week or two it would probably have been a conservative minority. the only real advantage carney has is that with a minority he doesn't have to wait till the fixed election date to call the next election. He can justify it whenever he wants. That lets him get to pick the timing and as we just saw with justin, that can be critical.

The better question is why. Nothing is for free, everything costs something. As it stands he needs only have the support of one other party to pass what he wants, whereas the opposition requires the support of all of the parties to bring him down. It should be very easy to go at least two years like this, perhaps more. And all he has to do is bide his time and wait until the perfect moment when opinions and crisis comes together to allow him to justify calling another election at a time which is perfect for him and then snag a majority. Look at what happened to Trudeau trying to play games to drag it out longer than he should have. With being so close to a majority he should be able to get by for quite some time with next to no problems and he won't have to buy anyone to do it

You describe it as though you were a brain dead hate-filled cultist with no mind of his own repeating echo chamber talking points.

Well as has been said we'll have to see the details of the deal. This kind of sounds like the British deal in the sense that they haven't actually reached a deal they've just reached the general broad terms and will negotiate the details later. Which would still be good news but it's not the same good news as an actual deal. Hopefully the terms will be favorable to both countries and an actual deal will follow shortly. This whole tariff nonsense has got to be put behind us.

I don't think he gets to keep the plane does he? I think he accepts it on behalf of America

Liberals won Terrebonne, Que., riding by 1 vote — but this woman's Bloc ballot wasn't counted | CBC News so the short version is the liberals won this riding by one vote according to a recount. But this woman had sent in an absentee ballot. However elections Canada had put the wrong address on the return envelope so she wound up getting it back after the election unopened as a Return to Sender. It's not her fault that elections Canada screwed up the address on the envelope. Had her vote for the block been counted the riding would have been a tie. Now elections Canada has to figure out how to handle this. Anyone who says that their vote doesn't count after this needs to get slapped In all honesty I think her vote should be allowed. It's clear from the postmarks that she sent it in beforehand and in time, and it's clear that this was an elections Canada mistake. And it completely changes that riding's result. It's not fair that she'd be denied her right to vote like that. But I don't know what's actually going to happen. Makes you wonder if there were other absentee ballots like that

This is not remotely good news just so we're clear. Which isn't to say that good news isn't around the corner. But it's too soon to say that Wiping out a loss in and of itself isn't good news. The stock market is still behind where it should be. But even more concerned is that when you analyze the stocks a bit there's been a shift from investment stocks into safer commodity class stocks Which signals a reduction in investment for new business. Having said that, the idea behind this is it would create a massive boom of investment in economic activity in the not too distant future. So it's way to soon to say it's BAD news yet. We will have to see what the gdp output is and the stocks are doing by the end of the second quarter. if trump's correct we should see a second or possibly third quarter increase in gdp which is very strong, around 4 percent. ANd no recession. If he's wrong then we'll see a recession or mild growth in the 2 percent range, which means he did damage but not terminal. these things play out over time. He's had a very bad quarter, which he suggested was to be expected, and before the end of the year there should be a correspondingly high great quarter or more that justifies the dip. we'll see.

If you really believe that you wouldn't have been triggered to the point where you have to use your little red down arrow to make yourself feel better again It's always a dead giveaway

It's not a grievance, you just misquoted what they presented. I can see why, they quoted it poorly but as they say in their notes: Figures do not represent the total number of deaths in Canada due to COVID-19. Adapted from Statistics Canada, health-infobase.canada.ca, As of May 2, 2023. And we know the methodology used by the health info base, it includes people that had covid but didn't die from covid. So I wasn't complaining, I just corrected you. Don't get mad at me just because the numbers say something slightly different than you thought they said

Kid. You can do better than that. Do better. You've been slacking off a lot here lately. He made a point and made an argument, If you disagree make a reasoned response in reply. Explain why he's wrong or why you disagree or what you feel he's missing or something. He was quite right to call you out on that, and you are perfectly capable of articulating a position when you try, so do better than that.
